Is it a risky strategy for the White House to take on Fox News? We've got the raw politics. Plus, Rev. Al Sharpton takes aim at Rush Limbaugh's possible bid for the St. Louis Rams. And, new facts on the H1N1 flu and vaccine from 360 M.D. Sanjay Gupta.

    Hello everyone — An interesting controversy that is stirring with the White House finally taking off the gloves against Fox, but again, I must say that I agree with those of you who have written here tonight that it would be far better to leave the fight to Democrats outside the West Wing and for the President and his team to focus on jobs, health care, Afghanistan and the like. That’s where they can make the greatest contribution to the country.

    This is where the President and his team are focused, on jobs, health care, Afghanistan and the like. Because that’s where they can make the greatest contribution to the country.

    Mike. CNN has already said she won't run again; actually she is being marginilized by the Obama administration.

    I would hate to be a player on Rush's team. He would probably check to see if they were conservative and only believe his rhetoric before they could play!!
